LGBT+ Get Active Fund – Grants of up to £50,000 Available

The LGBT+ Fund: Get Active Fund is now open for applications, offering funding to LGBT+ led organisations and groups delivering sport and physical activity across the UK.

Supported by the London Marathon Foundation, a total of £400,000 is available through the programme. The fund particularly aims to support grassroots organisations working with LGBT+ communities who face additional barriers to taking part in physical activity.

Organisations can apply for:

• £5,000–£25,000 for projects lasting one year.
• £10,000–£50,000 for projects lasting two years.

Applicants must be UK-based, LGBT+ led non-profit groups or organisations and have been running for at least six months. Their work must include existing or recent sport or physical activity provision. Activities can cover a wide range of opportunities, including walking and hiking, football, gardening, dance, skateboarding and other activities which increase physical movement and wellbeing.
